Isaias 53
1 Sino ang maniniwala sa aming narinig? At ang bisig ni Yahweh, kanino ito ipinahayag?
(Who will believe what we will tell them [about God’s servant]?/Hardly anyone will believe what we will tell them [about God’s servant].) [RHQ] (Who will see what Yahweh does by his great power?/Very few people will see what Yahweh does by his great power.) [MTY, RHQ]
2 Dahil lumaki siya sa harapan ni Yahweh gaya ng isang supling, at gaya ng isang usbong sa tigang na lupa; wala siyang taglay na kapansin-pansin na hitsura o kaningningan; noong makita namin siya, walang kagandahan para kami ay maakit.
While God watches, his servant will grow up [appearing/seeming to be very insignificant/unimportant], like a weak young plant that shoots up from a root [of a tree that is growing] in dry ground. There will be nothing beautiful or majestic about him, nothing that would cause us to want to be with him.
3 Siya ay hinamak at itinakwil ng mga tao; isang taong maraming kalungkutan, at siyang pamilyar sa sakit. Kagaya ng isang pinagtataguan ng mga tao ng kanilang mga mukha, siya ay hinamak; Itinuring namin siyang hindi mahalaga.
People will despise and reject him. {He will be despised and rejected.} He will endure much pain, and he will suffer much. [Because his face will be very disfigured], people will not [want to] look at him; people will despise him and think that he is not worth paying any attention to.
4 Pero tiyak na pinasan niya ang ating mga karamdaman at dinala ang ating mga kalungkutan; gayon man ay inakala natin na pinarusahan siya ng Diyos, pinalo siya ng Diyos, at pinahirapan.
But he will be [punished for] the sicknesses [of our souls]; he will endure great pain for us. But we will think that he is being punished by God, afflicted/punished [for his own sins].
5 Pero sinaksak siya dahil sa ating mga ginawang paghihimagsik; nadurog siya dahil sa ating mga kasalanan. Ang kaparusahan para sa ating kapayapaan ay nasa kanya, at pinagaling niya tayo sa pamamagitan ng kanyang mga sugat.
But his body will be bruised because of the evil things that we did, wounded because of our sins. He will be beaten in order that things will go well for our [souls]; and because he will be whipped, [our souls] can be healed.
6 Tayong lahat ay gaya ng mga tupang ligaw; ang bawat isa ay nagkanya-kanyang daan, at ipinataw sa kanya ni Yahweh ang kasamaan nating lahat.
All of us have gone away [from God] like [SIM] sheep who have strayed away [from their shepherd]. We have turned away [from doing the things that God wants in order] to do the things that we wanted [MET]. [We deserve to be punished, but] Yahweh will punish him instead of punishing us for all of our sins.
7 Siya ay pinahirapan; gayun man nang nagpakumbaba siya, hindi niya ibinuka ang kanyang bibig, gaya ng isang kordero na dinadala sa katayan, at gaya ng tupa na bago ito gupitan ay tahimik, kaya hindi niya ibinuka ang kanyang bibig.
He will be abused and caused to suffer, but he will not say anything [to complain]. They will lead him [to where they will execute him], [like they lead] a lamb to where it will be slaughtered. And like a sheep does not (bleat/make any noise) when the shearer [cuts off its wool], he will not say anything [MTY] [to defend himself when he is killed].
8 Sa pamamagitan ng pamimilit at paghuhusga siya ay hinatulan; sino mula sa henerasyon iyon ang nakaalala pa sa kanya? Pero siya ay nahiwalay mula sa lupain ng mga buhay; dahil sa mga kasalanan ng aking bayan ay ipinataw sa kanya ang parusa.
After he is arrested and put on trial, he will be taken away [and executed]. And no one [RHQ] will be able to talk about his descendants, because he will die [EUP] [without being married and having children]. He will be (afflicted/caused to suffer) for the wrong things that we have done.
9 Sinadya nilang gumawa ng libingan para sa kanya kasama ang mga pumapatay, kasama ang isang mayaman sa kanyang kamatayan, kahit na hindi siya nakagawa ng anumang karahasan, ni nagkaroon ng anumang pandaraya sa kanyang bibig.
Although he will never have done any wrong or deceived [MTY] anyone, people will plan to bury his corpse where wicked people are buried, but instead, a rich man will [bury him] after he dies.
10 Ito ay kalooban ni Yahweh para durugin siya at gawin siyang masama; at kung ginagawa niyang handog ang kanyang buhay para sa kasalanan, makikita niya ang kanyang mga anak, pahahabain niya ang kanyang mga araw, at ang kalooban ni Yahweh ay matutupad sa pamamagitan niya.
But it will be Yahweh’s will that he be afflicted and caused to suffer. And [when he dies], Yahweh will cause him to be an offering to remove the guilt of sinners. But later he will have many [spiritual] children, and he will live (a long time/forever) after he [dies and] becomes alive [again], and he [MTY] will accomplish everything that Yahweh has planned.
11 Pagkatapos niyang magdusa, makikita niya at masisiyahan sa pamamagitan ng kaalaman kung ano ang kanyang nagawa. Ang aking matuwid na lingkod ay ipawawalang-sala ang marami; dadalhin niya ang kanilang kasamaan.
When he sees all that he will accomplish because of his suffering, he will be satisfied. And because of what will have happened to him, Yahweh’s righteous servant will cause the guilt of many people to be ended, because he will remove [the guilt for] their sins.
12 Kaya ibibigay ko sa kanya ang kanyang kabahagi sa gitna ng maraming tao, at hahatiin niya ang mga nasamsam sa karamihan, dahil inilantad niya ang kanyang sarili sa kamatayan at ibinilang siyang kasama ng mga makasalanan. Dinala niya ang kasalanan ng marami at namagitan siya para sa mga makasalanan.
So Yahweh will consider him to be one of the truly great people; he will [be like a king who] divides up [among his soldiers] the (spoils/things they took from their enemies after defeating them) [MET], because he will sacrifice himself and die. [Even though people] will consider him to be a sinner, he will remove the guilt of many [people], and he will intercede/pray that those who have done things that are wrong [will be forgiven].
